“The cottage was brilliant, clean and comfortable, however, just outside the front gate where you drive in was like a scrap yard, old broken down car and quad bikes that had been there for years.”

.. very poor outlook from the front window...doesn’t show these on the advertisement....the front garden where you sit needs some attention, ..it didn’t ruin the holiday...but as they say could do better...

“It was a super cottage, very clean and comfortable.”

The owners were friendly and helpful.

“Although this cottage was clean, comfortable and good value for money - we hadn't realised how remote it was in relation to lack of mobile phone reception.”
